CHAPTER 4 ■ DATA BINDING WITH ASP.NET
The DataList template is automatically configured for the data fields that you’ve
selected. It has a label containing the column name, and a placeholder for where the
data should appear. You can change this easily to present the data in a different way. For
example, if you don’t want a postal code label, and just have a comma between the
address line and the postal code, you can visually edit this. Figure 4-32 shows one example
of how the editor can be used to make the appearance of the data more visually
pleasing.
